I got the stats from a webstie called pokemon showdown.

Cinccino

Trait : Skill link

Naturre : Adamant

item : Life orb

EVs : 252 Attack, 252 Speed and 4 Sp Defense

Moves : Bullet Seed, Rock blast , Tail slap and U turn

it has 317 Attack andthe life orb boosts it too + 329 Speed with this set

Now tell me how is that overrated? First off, it is a frail pokemon so it gets revenge killed very easily by the likes of Kabutops, Breloom and Infernape.

It didn't even made it above the RU Tier and it is outclassed by Cloyster due to its superior offensive capabilities and higher attack stat.

Its Base attack stat is 95 which is mediocre-good at best and it will be life-orb stalled by the likes of phsyical walls specfically, steel and ghost types like Aggron, Steelix, Dusclops (although, it doesn't like knock off) and even Chansey if the Cinccino is not holding King's rock and the chansey keeps on using soft-boiled.

Cinccino's typing doesn't help it either offensively as its only STAB "multi-hitting move" is Tail slap which doesn't really cover anything or defensively as it is only not affected by ghost and it gets hit by almost everything with normal damage except for fighting which would be supereffective.
